It does look good. I am interested to know what the oil capacity is.

Of course it’s not a new idea, GAR… this one just happens to look OK.

That would be “built” not “build”. Damn fingers don’t work on a Friday afternoon!

Nothing new here! Jeff Nicklus build a single swing arm bike with the oil tank within it for a bike in Canada, don’t remember the name of the bike. Aaron Greene build a single swing arm bike with the oil in it for the Hard Rock Cafe. etc. The differance now is it is available to the public.

I’ve only used a single-side swingarm once, about 3 years ago, and it was from R.C. Components. While it did function properly and the customer was satisfied, I just wasn’t crazy about the way it looked on a softail frame, so I never used another one. Just couldn’t knock the “mis-matched” look off it.
This one looks like a much more viable option, especially if a better suited frame were used, instead of the typical softail frame. I am tempted to give this a try. Cyril, thanks for the info.
